Videos and Photos of Tisha B'Av 5766 in Yerushalayim

This is my forth year in a row hearing Aicha at the Kotel. Im Yirtzeh Hashem (G-d Willing) next year no one will have to hear Aicha. As you would imagine the Kotel was packed last night.

Here's what it looked like:

Women In Green once again organized the annual walk around the old city walls. Thousands showed up. The crowd gathered in Kikar Safra for Aicha and marched from there. Member of Knesset Prof. Arieh Eldad, Rabbi Uzi Sharbaf from Hebron, and Nadia Matar all addressed the crowd.
